I felt like a had a good pace on my last set, but my “counter” would not count more than 20 of my squats, so I kept going, and I eventually regained my full range-of-motion on squats (ROM for squats: down to the ball, and full leg-extension at the top, head-up, chest-up). So I actually finished the “50” squats with proper form… moral of the story: do it right, or do it over.

Now this challenge is coming from a “recovering” short-ROM athlete: this is a challenge from Crossfit Tulsa-Kuwait: I double-dog-dare y’all to judge each others pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and squats for true CF-ROM; and coaches, if your athlete does not achieve true ROM on a rep, simply repeat that number, like a scratched-vinyl-album, until they do achieve true CF-ROM.
[for those of you born after the 70’s, an “album” was what we used before 8-tracks… well, I guess that doesn’t help either… never mind]

I love the new banner! It's awesome!
Billy, it's great to keep hearing from you. And as far as your challenge, I'm working on actually achieving a full pull-up and push-up.... so it will be a while until some one can critique my full ROM...
But what you said does have merit. If we are allowing ourselves or the coaches are allowing us to do the movements with bad form or without full ROM then we are only cheating ourselves and in turn cheating others. We won't get better and stronger to take a more active role in society by cheating, on our form or on our numbers. Only by holding ourselves to higher standards will be be stronger than the average person. And in the end only the strong will survive.

Good job Billy. I concur squats are my downfall as well, the full extension part gets me everytime. Oh and I think I saw one of those "album" thingys on the History Channel one time.

Had a huge group today. A total of 20 between the 1400 class and the BA officers coming in afterwards. There were a few new faces from BA and they gave a full effort.

Sorry to everyone there, but I did not write down all of the times. I know that everyone worked hard and put it all out on the line.

Just remember, to not worry so much about the clock, but nail the form on the exercises. It is the only way you will continue to progress and excel.

You should come to the gym because you want to get better, faster and more fit. Not just to put up a better time than the guy next to you.

Great work by all and especially to the new faces.

Yeah...i didn't read the part about timing each round and resting 3 minutes in between. I don't know how I missed it...since I had to ask the wife for permission to use MY computer! So, I just went through it...all five rounds back to back. Not feelin' to good right now. Sat in a hot bath for 30 minutes.

Watched the form. 5 rounds, 39min 8sec.

Jerimiah, may not make it tomorrow.

Holy caw Jim!! Going through that thing straight through would be a nightmare but kuddos for doing it. Next time, you will knock this thing out when you actually get a breather between each round.
